Geological map, colour lithograph, N part only,
Geological Map of England and Wales, scale about 18 miles to
1 inch, published by G W Bacon and Co, Strand, London, 1895.
Sheet 99 from the Commercial and Library Atlas of the British Isles from the Ordnance Survey. Geological areas are delimited by a fine dotted line. The colouring does not distinguish all of these, for instance - the Shap Granite is coloured as part of the Carboniferous limestone; the Coniston Limestone series is not shown at all. The bottom of the stratigraphical column has Cambrian then Silurian, no Ordovician which had been introduced several decades before. |
